Hi- I am trying to find a hammock for my husband as a Christmas gift. He is 6 foot 6 and weighs around 260. I have heard bad things about rope hammocks - like they stretch way too easy. Anyone have one they could reccommend? I'd hate to order the wrong thing! Thanks!

Over the summer I got a portable hammock at Bed Bath and Beyond. Don't know if they still make them. It wasn't a rope hammock (I skipped it because of the stretching issues as well). The weight limit on it was 300 pounds. Maybe you can score one online at their site.

I'd email them to find out about weight limits though I don't see any listed
